My heart goes out to Dave, the band and most of all his family. I can't fathom what he must be going their minds and hearts.

I've been listening to Under Pressure on repeat, I know it's a Queen song, but it's one I will always associate with Taylor.

You will be missed x

Caro Taylor, eri energia pura, potenza, tecnica e genialità. Riuscivi ad esplodere come una meteora, ogni sera su un palco diverso; di città in città. Una parte di me è andata via: non ti dimenticherò. Eri il rock e nessuno smetterà di impazzire al tuo colpo di bacchette. Sempre
